First froth found by a
consultant with an eye for spit. Interesting creatures, spittlebugs.
They whip up a froth of spittle under which they hide as nymphs and feed
to their hearts content. Checking first alerts
on these bugs, they've been sighted between 4/26 through 5/15 in 10 of
the 11 years of alerts sent out. Consistent little spitters but this
year is an outlier, for sure.
